Summary

In the Linux kernel, a NULL dereference vulnerability was resolved in ef100_process_design_param() in the sfc driver. ef100_probe_main() and ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created, so netif_set_tso_max_size() and _segs() cannot be called at that point.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to a kernel crash during initialization of the sfc network driver, causing denial of service or system instability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. For systems with Solarflare network cards, verify the sfc driver is up to date.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param() Since cited commit, ef100_probe_main() and hence also ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created; consequently, we cannot netif_set_tso_max_size() or _segs() at this point. Move those netif calls to ef100_probe_netdev(), and also replace netif_err within the design params code with pci_err.
